4Quotes and Aphorisms 27.06.2018
Dear readers, have you ever thought about what a person’s life would be like if there were no art in it? Nothing at all: no music, no painting, no books, no theater, no cinema, no dancing... It’s very difficult for me to imagine a world so gray and dull, where there is no possibility of spiritual self-expression, where there is no place for creativity. The role of art in the life of humanity is enormous. It gives answers to eternal questions, fills our world with colors, breathes life itself into us. This is exactly what is said so accurately and aptly in quotes and aphorisms about art.
The purpose of art is to light up people's hearts
What is art? What is its purpose? Some believe that it is just a description of the reality around us, others that art too idealizes life, depicting it at all as it really is, others call this definition the transfer of feelings and emotions to other people through creativity. All these opinions are reflected in quotes and aphorisms about art.
“A work of art is a corner of the universe seen through the prism of a certain temperament.”
Emile Zola
“Too close resemblance to life is fatal to art.”
Ralph Emerson
“Art certainly strives for good, positively or negatively: whether it shows us the beauty of all the best that is in a person, or whether it laughs at the ugliness of all the worst in a person. If you expose all the rubbish that is in a person, and display it in such a way that each of the spectators will receive complete disgust for it, I ask: is this not already praise for everything good? I ask: isn’t this a praise of goodness?”
Nikolay Gogol

“Art is such a need for a person as eating and drinking. The need for beauty and creativity, which embodies it, is inseparable from a person, and without it a person, perhaps, would not want to live in the world.”
Fedor Dostoevsky
Masterpieces are born in the throes of creativity
Creativity is absolutely natural state person. It brings pleasure and pleasure, but we should not forget that it is also the greatest work. In quotes and aphorisms about art and creativity, great writers, artists, and musicians share their thoughts about this.

“Yes, writing is not a pleasant activity at all, but exhausting work and torment. How many vitality leaves for work. They read it and think that, by the way, that’s how I wrote it casually.

Ivan Bunin

George Byron
Great art serves great purposes
Real art never tells us what we should be; it does not provide direct guidance to action and does not provide clear answers to pressing questions. But it touches the deepest strings of the soul, makes you think about the meaning of life and removes language and national barriers between people. After all, when listening to “Ave Maria,” does it really matter that you don’t know Italian? How correctly it is said about this in quotes and aphorisms about real art.

Great people about art

In this risk, however, and only in this lies the freedom of art.”
“Art has bouts of chastity. It cannot call a spade a spade.”
“In all forms of art, you yourself need to experience the sensations that you want to evoke in others.”

About contemporary art
Concepts of beauty change over time, as has always been the case. Art cannot remain unchanged; it also changes, just like our lives. Rhythm modern life has become much faster, it is literally eventful and it is not surprising that new genres and trends in creativity have appeared. They can be treated differently, because we all have the right to own opinion. I bring to your attention a selection of quotes and aphorisms on the topic contemporary art.
“Previously, they were afraid that the number of objects of art might include objects that corrupt people, and they banned it all. Now they are only afraid of losing some kind of pleasure given by art, and they patronize everyone. And I think that the latter error is much grosser than the first and that its consequences are much more harmful.”
Lev Tolstoy

Nicolas Winding Refn
“Art is not a mirror of reality, but an integral part of it.”

Eight secrets in drawing
Eight secrets that will allow you
learn to draw masterfully
1. Correct construction of objects in space
This skill is the basis for anyone professional artist. It will create a sense of volumetric space in your painting, which is very important. This alone will greatly improve your paintings.
2. Proper application of strokes
With the help of strokes, a background is created for the future volume of forms and objects - this is main basis. When you learn how to apply them correctly, everything you draw will become more saturated and clear.
3. Tone stretching with a pencil
Another secret of the masters. When you learn how to do tonal stretching with a pencil from simple to complex, and dial in tone with pencils of varying softness, you will be surprised at how much more realistic your drawings will become.
4. The art of drawing three-dimensional figures
Another skill that separates people who are great at drawing from those who are new to drawing. This is the ability to give volume to objects that differ in shape, working with light and reflex, one’s own shadow and penumbra. These skills will make your work much better.
5. The ability to work with your own shadow on figures to add volume
This is also important to be able to do if you want to masterfully depict three-dimensional objects and create realistic paintings.
6. Effective construction of falling shadows
The type and shape of falling shadows depends not only on the figure cast by it, but also on the location of the light source. Having mastered this skill, you will be able to draw falling shadows of various geometric shapes, but also apply this knowledge to objects of various forms.
7. The ability to distinguish objects by tone
Thanks to this, you will not only be able to show the difference between objects and forms, but also indicate compositional center, which is very important for building a composition.
8. Composition skill
But this is the most important knowledge that will “revive” your painting and fill it with meaning, will make the viewer think about what mood you were in at the time of creating the painting, what exactly you wanted to tell the viewer. Knowing composition will allow you to “say” with your painting what you cannot say in words...
... and many other skills and secrets that the world's best artists possess.
How to quickly master the main skills of professional artists?
Of course you can sign up for art school. However, this is possible if you have a lot of free time. Unfortunately, not everyone can spend several hours a day getting to and from school.
In addition, you can start learning on your own - from books. But this is a very slow and difficult path, and without a professional mentor you will study for a very long time, making many mistakes.
The easiest way is to study using a video course at home. In just 46 days, you can learn to draw great drawings right at home!

Architecture. A representative embodiment of the will directed towards the future. - Bad: the embodiment of will directed to the past; although it can be very cute. Modern architecture: modern will, implemented taking into account the circumstances, it is quite correct to define as modern style. The will to the future, of course, has no other means of expression other than architectural mimicry, that is, a very limited means and one that is always overestimated by amateurs.
Robert Musil
Political history and art history. Due to some current difficulties fine arts the following reasoning: for one serious turn of life there are five in art - for example, over the last hundred years: all modernity, it seems, arose from the smooth, continuous movement of the past, while in literature, for example, we have classical, romantic, epigonic, them - and expressionist (not counting: Buchner, Grillparzer, Goebbel). It is easier to predict what the world will be like in a hundred years than how this world will be written in a hundred years. It’s impossible to prophesy about this even in hindsight. A note to this: it is an illusion that political and general history flows more smoothly. But it's clearer. For there is more rationality in it, more unambiguity (rationality and violence, rationality and lust). Art history is influenced by affect and determined by fashion. Political history contains more nonsense and consists almost entirely of beautiful accidents and fits of cruelty. General history more logical (consistent) than art history. Since she is governed by calculation and lust, the thirst for power (where calculation fails), her image is unsympathetically clear, it even seems (but only seems) almost unambiguously quantifiable. Art history, on the contrary, is fulfilled in particulars high meaning(or at least higher thoughts) as a whole becomes nonsense, since it is left to the uncontrolled play of higher affects.
Robert Musil
The question of whether there is stupid music reveals all its delicacy only in isolation from what in this music can be studied and memorized. To one, this question seems quite natural: why not, after all, there is deep, even thoughtful music; to another, however, it seems completely impossible, since it is pointless to apply the definition of “stupid” to form and feeling. We can recommend both a small and harmless trick - turn the question around and ask yourself: maybe stupidity itself is musical? Endless repetitions, capricious stubbornness with which one and the same motive is repeated, inflating one’s own findings, movement in circles, very limited deviations from what was once comprehended, pathos and energy instead of spiritual insight - stupidity without false modesty could declare that all these are favorites properties and her nature! However, to end the matter peacefully, let's say this: the question of whether the great goddess is afraid of being tickled under the arm is not a question for idle curiosity, but only for an ardent admirer.
Only he is gifted with a happy fate,
He is joyful whose heart is just.
Albukasim Ferdowsi
What is a poet? A person who writes poetry? Of course not. He is called a poet not because he writes in poetry; but he writes in verse, that is, he brings words and sounds into harmony, because he is the son of harmony, a poet.

Truly, art lies in nature; whoever knows how to discover it owns it.

Whoever has experienced the pleasure of creativity, for him all other pleasures no longer exist.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Happiness is spending yourself on the creation of your own hands, which will live even after your death.
Every climb is painful. Rebirth is painful. Without being exhausted, I won’t be able to hear the music. Suffering and effort help the music to sound.
Did the effort seem fruitless to you? Blind man, take a few steps back... The magic of skillful hands has created masterpieces, hasn't it? But believe me, success and failure have created them equally... A beautiful dance is born from the ability to dance.
Only a bee recognizes the hidden sweetness in a flower,

Music should strike fire from people's hearts.
Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven
Others, who love their art, devote themselves entirely to their work, forgetting to wash themselves and eat. You value your nature less than an engraver values engraving, a dancer values dancing, a money lover values money, an ambitious person values fame. Does generally useful activity really seem to you less significant and less worthy of effort?
Marcus Aurelius
The art of living is more reminiscent of the art of fighting than of dancing. It requires preparedness and resilience in the face of the unexpected and unexpected.

Paracelsus
Inspiration is the kind of guest who does not like to visit the lazy.
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Everyone is capable of creating well only what the muse inspires him to do.
Music inspires the whole world, supplies the soul with wings, promotes the flight of imagination...
The path to the abode of the muses, alas, is not wide and not straight.
